It was sad to hear about the passing of Paul Gerhardt. Paul did the kidney dialysis routine for some time. He was frequently seen at our Zoom meetings on camera while getting his dialysis treatment. He enjoyed the friendship of our club even more after the passing of his wife. Paul will be missed. In lieu of flowers, donations in Paul's name can be made to: TLS Veterans, 5330 Elm Street, McHenry, IL 60050. Or, to the Woodstock Rotary Foundation, PO Box 53, Woodstock, IL, 60098. On a different note, we donated $1500 to LGMC for their program for young adults. They had applied for one of our Community Service Grants, but were not selected by the committee. We were able to use funds from our Vocational Scholarships that were not used by the students: Tyler Schroeder from Woodstock North and Ava Primus from Woodstock High School. Tuition for each student is $500. The Board of Directors has voted to approve Kerry T. Smith as a new member of our club. She was proposed by Jeremy Rutter and is the Corporate Development Director at Hearthstone Woodstock. She has been attending our Zoom meeting for the last 5 weeks. This notification is the final process for her becoming a member. Please read your e-mails from Laura concerning updates on CCH. The committee has been meeting and has come up with some new innovative ways to accomplish our goal of providing Christmas for those in need. We will have to limit participation by the general public due to Covid-19 and therefore it will require more time and labor by our club in a limited environment to get the job done. So be prepared to roll up your sleeves and go to work. It's during these work times that one gets to know your fellow members. If we make it fun, it will get done! |
